Why does the name Xerneas remind me of Organization 13? (Btw name of the deer-looking Pokemon)

Actually COD just reached as the #1 franchise over EVERYTHING including Star Wars, Battlefield, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc etc etc. 

Not really sure where you got this info but if you search for best selling video game franchises in the world, you will see that mario is #1, pokemon is #2, and COD falls in place way down at #9.

Nah, I thought that too. Kingdom Hearts has ruined my ability to see an X and not think about anagrams. lolAlso, I thought this was supposed to be in a facsimile of France? "Xerneas and Yveltal" sound like they got lost from Scandinavia.

Yveltal (ee-vel-tall)

That's where I found that from. It's probably on other sites, but I'm at school and most Pokemon sites are blocked.

 

Edit: Woah. Pokemon.com isn't blocked at school.  :huh: And yet, Serebii and PokeJungle are blocked. The firetruck?

Hey guys, how's it going?  So, with the announcement of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, it seems that these games might be interesting enough for me to want to get back to Pokemon.  Don'g get me wrong, I love the Pokemon games.  The first one I played was Pokemon Pearl.  But after playing a few more of the Pokemon games, I started to outgrow the series.  Not even Pokemon Black and White sated my thirst for much needed evolution in Pokemon.  Has this happened to some of you?  Anyways, just seeing the trailer of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y is enough to convince me to pre-order a copy of the game.  This game might finally renew my faith in Pokemon.  What do you think guys?

 

P.S: Since we're talking about Pokemon, my favorite games are the Ruby Sapphire and Emerald ones, and the game in which I have the most Pokemon info recorded is HeartGold, with a total of 174 Pokemon Obtained.

COD reached the #1 not even kidding and I think it's also Money wise as well not just sold copies, but That was in like November? So Idk if it still is owo

For me not sure cause I've been into to digimon more so i'm not sure,btw the first i played was sapphire and my highest amount of poke capture is,470 in Pokemon diamond.I think i'm gonna wait for Pokemon Z,lol.

[Rob 5,571]

I told myself after B/W came out that I was done with Pokemon because it got boring. Now X and Y is announced, I am returning.

X,Y, then the sequel will be Z,

 

I think the games are based on the chromosomes x and y(If you know what that is)

[Rob 5,571]

lol It seems Kingdom Hearts has messed up our minds.

[griann 59]

I started out with the very first generation of Pokemon on the game boy colour. I played red/blue/yellow, then silver/gold/crystal, ruby/sapphire/emerald, firered/leafgreen.

Since I didn't had a ds at that time and also was kinda too lazy to get one I stopped playing the main series.

Even after I bought one I didn't continue because to me it's just the same over and over again, the differences being, the bad guys change and there are other pokemon. That's just how it seemed to me. I enjoyed playing mystery dungeon or pokemon ranger since it's a new plot and the gameplay is also different from the main series.

Sure, I got a little bit interested in the new generation. However, at the moment I'm rather unsure whether I'll be getting it when it comes out, but luckily there's still some time left to think about that. If there's anything else, that I think sounds great about the game, next to the graphics, I might buy it.

I'm more looking forward to the next mystery dungeon game.

 

I'm not someone who likes to trade pokemon from different generations, or taking part in different events in order to get all pokemon. So, yeah. I'll see I guess.

[Indecypher 495]

I started playing Silver, and then went back and got Red. I tried Emerald because I wanted to play a Pokemon game, but I got bored and never finished it. Since I like to do things in order, I probably won't get X or Y. But then again, I started the series out of order so if I feel like playing a Pokemon game again I might.

 

 

X,Y, then the sequel will be Z,

 

I think the games are based on the chromosomes x and y(If you know what that is)

I didn't think of that, the only other theory I heard was this:

X and Y Axis create a 3D image.

The game is the first 3DS main series Pokemon game.

 x and y axis create a 2d image dude you need a z axis to create a 3d image. maybe there is a third legendary that can be Z or something and that would make correlation but for now it is not.

http://www.complex.com/video-games/2012/09/the-50-best-video-game-franchises/call-of-duty this is just one of many instances where it is NOT number one. I'm not trying to pick a fight but its not #1. It is #6 on this list. It's in different spots on different lists, but #1 on none of them. It might be number one of 1st person shooters, or number one on current home consoles, but as far as most popular franchises of all time go, it is not.

[SoraBlade 832]

What are your thoughts on the new game? What starter? And possibly what game and or legendary? How many pokemon, if you think there's more, or just those 6?

 

 

 

I am personally going to go for Fennekin. He/ or she, as it is more likely to be male, will make a great partner for me.

 

I might get......Fuuuu-------roakie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's hard to choose Xerneas over Yveltal, and the other way around!

 

 

 

And all those posts............Yeah. Those two above are actually mascots. For the truth. No more arguing, it has been confirmed.

 

I think there will be a fire, water, grass, possibly poison and steel, flying and possible dragon type gym. Dunno 'bout the other two.......

 

Elite 4 may be a dragon! > : )

 

 

And last question: How do you correctly and currently pronounce the legendary names? The correct way, from what I've heard, is and .............If I didn't see how they were pronounced, I'd say Ecks-OR-nee-is and YA-vell-tol. What would you say if you saw their names for the first time? Or what did you

[Indecypher 495]

I find the new method of naming the games interesting. I probably won't get it so I dunno for most of your questions.

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

Im going to get a 3DS, and then wait for Pokémon Z. I like the fire starter. The others look... meh to me.

1. Looks amazing, gonna get both games. X first, then ask for Y for Christmas. I'll get (a male) Fennekin most likely, but it depends on all the final evos. I hated Oshawott but went with it because I absolutely loved Samurott.

2. Don't know how many Pokémon will be new, but there'll be over 700 total Pokémon, confirmed. So there's definitely more than just 6. 

3. Those are the correct ways, and how I would pronounce them even if we hadn't been told. Think Xemnas/Xigbar/Xaldin/Xehanort. All start with X but have a Z sound. Therefore, Xerneas = Zurr-nee-us. As for Yveltal, think Yvonne. It's pronounced Ee-vonne. Therefore, Yveltal = Ee-vell-tall. Although I say 'tull' at the end, not 'tall'.

4. Hopefully there's finally a dark type gym, there's never been one in any region. Also hoping for a new type; either Light type or Digital type (which is going around as a rumour). Quite possible there's a new type, as in an interview, it was said that there's 'more complex types of Pokémon'.

INTERESTING! And just one last thing: What do you suppose the Two Legendary typings will be? I think Xerneas will be Steel Psychic and Yveltal shall be a dark/fire/flying combo of whatever works.......

[Ace326 79]

Ok first Im getting which ever game is going to have that black dragon pokemon. I think it is for Y. Its type seems more likely to be dark/flying type. The grass starter looks alright, the fire strarter appeals to me, and the water starter looks absolutely stupid. 

[Blake 776]

I think the region will be based of Europe :>

[Xalaru 445]

Xerneas: Light/Water or Digital/Water (assuming Light or Digital are types) If not, then maybe Psychic/Water or Steel/Psychic.Yveltal: Dark/Fire or Dark/Digital (if that's a type)

 

If this game is about DNA (which has been strongly hinted at in several ways), then it's very possible a new type was engineered or discovered.

I think these games are the first step into a new direction of the Pokemon Main Series. I'm gonna buy Pokemon Y, I guess.... I'm not completely sure, I think if Pokemon X is gonna get the cooler Pokemon it could be that I'll buy this, but the first look says: Pokemon Y!I took the Fire starter every time I could, and even if I don't like Psycho types, it looks like Fennekin will be Fire/Psycho... I'm sure I'll still choose it xDThe pronunciation in German is totally easy, so I don't have to say something about that xDI really hope there will be a larger selection of Water Pokemon than in B/W... And I mean more NEW Water Pokemon... xDEDIT: The concept of the game is obviously "Genetics" ... I hope this doesn't refer ONLY to the Legendaries... Would be cool if the whole breeding thing could get more complex
